Directions

Step 1

Juice the limes and combine with cumin, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken and marinate for 30 minutes.

In a separate pot, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Let it sit for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Chop pistachios, parsley, mint, and onion. Fluff couscous with a fork and mix in the chopped ingredients.

Step 5

Drizzle couscous with remaining olive oil and lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 6

Serve the chicken on a platter with a side of pistachio herb couscous, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
